As for what I mean, from what I can gather Debian doesn't come with drivers for wireless internet by default, hence why I'm having to install it. That's kind of a broad statement and I'm not sure exactly where you're running into trouble, but Debian does come with support for ma...

If I remember correctly, stuff in /sbin like modprobe isn't on the $PATH in Debian, which is why it isn't being found. modprobe had better be on your system -- it's pretty important to the kernel. Ubuntu, on the other hand, adds /sbin to the default $PATH. Another thing to note is that i...

This kind of blows my mind. How can you make close to a million dollars off of a song for a show, but never say to yourself, "Man, this show is really popular, and made me a lot of money, I wonder what the fuss is about?". William Shatner has never watched most of Star Trek. The informati...

If a public figure says something at a public or semi-public event, and someone records it, even surreptitiously, it's highly unlikely that said figure would be able to use copyright, contract, or wiretap law to get it removed from the public record; it would be considered in the public interest...

I can't imagine why such things would be stored on Twitter rather than in a separate location (something like Storify, perhaps?). Why leave such things to the control of Twitter to begin with? They're not stored on Twitter. Those sites used Twitter's API (a means for softwar...

Because both NK's and other country's military advisers know that if they actually attacked SK in full force then they would lose and i don't just mean lose i mean they would get DESTROYED, china wouldn't actually back them, they would be idiots to and so NK just pretends like it ha...

^ Excuse me, but if the maximum usage is 4Gb, people want to make use of that 4Gb. Not 1Gb. Not 1 Gb of 4 Gb and then slower speeds. 4Gb. Not 1Gb. I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying, or maybe I'm understanding what AT&T was fined for. Again, T-Mobile is very transparent...

Who is this source ? He lives in Japan ? How pourcentage are they from the final product (of final) ? Can we expect a 2015 release ? I was with Aaron at the time and although we can't say any more, you can have my assurance as well that they are familiar with Khara. We're lucky that...

My buddies are at it again: http://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/ It's a good thing people are bringing attention to these problems, but it seems incredibly irresponsible to deliberately endanger the lives of innocent drivers on a major highway to do it, and for a jou...

I kinda feel like I have to watch School Days now. Speaking of which, I just finished all of the World God Only Knows series and I think that I can see why fans of the manga felt shortchanged. There's a lot that's glossed over, and I wonder if the protagonist grows a bit more in the manga as...

College student blows her entire 90k education fund, blames parents for her behavior. With $90,000 I could attend my state college for more than 18 semesters. This is ridiculous. And you could do about two years at a top private university, so I'm actually failing to see what the big story is h...

The Greeks are considering trying to dig deeper into economic hell. Every time this story comes up, I'm fascinated by the relative number of hours worked annually by Greeks compared to Germans (ignore the article and scroll down to the graph) . I think it speaks to the enormous number o...

I think the painting might be a big part of the problem. Regardless of Monet's status as an artist he did come from a time when Orientalism and cultural appropriation of all things Asian were huge problems Your response is a good example of the difficulty in talking about such things. Terms lik...
